Dear Mr. Trump,

I have been thinking a lot about history lately, and how, if we forget it, we are doomed to repeat it. Although you don’t read very much, perhaps you could tell me who said the three sentences below.

“Nothing could be better than for me to tell you of all the successes that have been achieved and the progress that has been made since I took over.”

“All the remarkable results have been reached during a time which may be looked upon as probably the most astounding time in the life of our people.”

“The main plank in our program is to abolish the liberal concept of the individual and the socialist concept of humanity.”

Did your narcissistic personality disorder impel you to guess that all of these are your own bragging pronouncements?

Sorry. They’re all based upon a speech by Adolf Hitler in 1937, complimenting himself about how he’s made German great again.

So, you see, Sir, you ought to read a bit more history and thus learn whom you’re taking after.

Very truly yours,

Bruce J. Berger
